[R&F] Rise and Fall General Discussion Thread

If so, they would need to alter the bonus. WW wasn't known for his dominant calvary tactics.

His bonus isn't specific for cavalary units, it is written as follows:
"Grants 1 promotion level and +25% combat experience to a military land unit."
So I believe WW would qualify as well as many others.

EDIT: Dang! I just realized I was talking with our profet! I beg your forgiveness for my conceitedness!

That would indeed be a great bonus for William Wallace.

I just don't see including Shaka and Ghengis in the same expansion, especially with Alex already out in DLC. Seems like they'd save him for the next expansion. Though who knows, weren't people annoyed when he wasn't in the base game/first expansion for 5?

Subutai is also likely to replace Genghis Khan as well.

Wish he was a Mongol unique Great General. It just doesn't feel right for Subutai to work for anyone else.

No Mongol general played a greater role than Subotei Ba'atur in establishing and maintaining the early Mongol Empire. Trusted commander and retainer of Cinggis, later highly respected servant of Ogodei and Guyuk, Subotei served with great distinction in every phase of Mongolian national development during the first four decades of empire. When he first entered the service of Temujin, the later Cinggis Qan, the realm of that minor Mongol chieftan comprised only a few families. In his old age, Subotei saw a mighty dominion stretching from the borders of Hungary to the Sea of Japan, from the outskirts of Novgorod to the Persian Gulf and the Yangtze River. He had no small part in creating it."

Who do you think is more likely to replace Genghis Khan as great general then? William Wallace? Subutai? Someone else from the Medieval era?

I am sure it will be Subutai. He's the right era and he certainly qualifies as a Great General. Quite possibly the greatest ever, IMO.

I was just musing that it would have been nice for him to be a Mongol unique Great General.

Perhaps in Civ VII.

I have the feeling that Subutai would replace Genghis Khan as Great General. I would not be surprised if William Wallace were to replace Genghis Khan instead.

That makes more sense than him as the leader of the Celts

I remember that in the Mongol livestream, Ed mentioned about not revealing who the replacement for Genghis Khan is.

Timur the lame

What do we think the uniques might be for a Scots/Scottish civ v. a Celts civ? If that turns out to be more than a throw away line.

 

[Cerilis]

Maybe Shaka also is a GG replacement... what Generals are there that fit his era and could become a leader? Ana Nzinga? :O

 

[Metecury]

Maybe Wallace is just replacing Genghis as a great general. Unless I'm mistaken in recalling Genghis as one in vanilla.

You're not. Apparently they are deliberately not revealing the replacement for Genghis.

If it actually is the Scots, we get bagpipes.

What sort of images to expect in the teaser tomorrow if the next Civ is the Zulus or the Celts/Scotland?

Would a spear or shield be too obvious?
Or a Kilt?

Maybe cattle for Zulu... I don't really know what to expect. I can only hope that the leak is fake and I'll see a leader with onion/garlic hat on Tuesday

Oh, and thirty-two days!

What could they show in the teaser for the Ottomans? A bombard cannon? Coffee?

A cushioned footstool.

I hope they go back to using coastlines.
